About the Image(s)

Last month I provided a closeup of the milkweed bug so this month I’ve moved in to a macro version of the same insect. Although taken with a tripod, I’ve increased the ISO to 3200 so I could increase the shutter speed because of the swaying of the plant in a light breeze. I processed the image in DXO PureRaw to remove the noise and then into Lightroom for minimal processing. I did basic tonal adjustments but the image didn’t need much else.

Specs:
Nikon Z8
Nikon 105mm f/2.8 micro lens
